A second chance...
The Civil War is over and now the country must try and stitch itself back together.
The frontiers of the West are being pushed back rapidly as the whole nation starts to move towards the promised land of California, a country of warm skies and gold for the taking.
Former Confederate soldier Tracey Dillman arrives in New Orleans, hoping to join one of the wagon trains headed west, filled with people looking for a fresh start in the state of California.
But the journey across the frontier is full of dangers; thousands of miles of desert, mountains, rivers in flood, as well as parties of outlaws looking to take advantage of travellers.
When the convoy he is travelling in is attacked by Laredo and Carrico's gang, Dillman finds that he's the only survivor.
Determined not to let others suffer the same fate, Dillman returns to New Orleans with the intent to join another train.
But with the town blaming him for the ambush and outlaw spies at every turn, it will be no easy feat.
Can Dillman find allies in his mission before this Badlands Feud claims more lives... ?
